Here’s what you have to do: All community members who will publish a tasting with a picture in December will be entered into the raffle. Each posted tasting with a photo equals one ticket in the lottery pot. In other words: Your chances of winning a coveted tasting kit grow with every shared tasting note in the RumX app. Winners will get notified directly after New Year’s Eve. Option 2: The bottles are available starting today from [Wealth Solutions online store](https://coloursofrum.com/store/colours-of-rum?utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum). **We will raffle 10 more tasting kits among all orders** placed in the store with the **code “RUMX”** in the order comment field. Additional benefit: Every order using the promo code will receive a free nosing glass. The winners will be announced on 15.12.2022, so the tasting kits are in time under the Christmas tree. ▶ **[Click here](https://coloursofrum.com/store/colours-of-rum?utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum) to secure your bottle** ![315531360_1601184576966474_8865219080435225592_n](https://community.rumx.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d6f3ee8c77e3e38c115f4e53527a42fc5ccda481.jpeg) We are very excited about this cooperation and the possibility to sweeten the Christmas season for many RumX community members.

Edit: sorry, question answered; just found the tasting notes … they didn’t show up on my phone 😉 i’ll go blue ---

Thank you for the transparency! I had a 1997 continental MMW before - it was a decent jamaica rum, but these 1995 EMBs with long tropical aging are completely different kind of beasts. ---

At the moment there is a drawn between Guadeloupe and Jamaica. Come on, only 16 votes! Lets see if we can crack 20 votes. Then I’ll place the order for the winning bottle and start the split. ---
